Welp . Here in the EU , the 2.0 diesel is the jack of all trades on the majority of the cars . It's small enough so it doesn't cost that much in tax and insurance , and it's powerful enough with good gas mileage . You can go even further with small french diesel engines like renault 1.5 dci or Peugeot 1.6 hdi that get like 55 mpg(yes US mpg not UK mpg)

[@Unapersonaconunmicroscopio]

Yup! And don’t forget the 1.9 tdi!

1.9 tdi legendary, from 2002-2010 best models from VAG (skoda, audi, vw, seat) bkc, bxe code for engines, 1.9 the legenday 105hp, BEST, reliability and enough power.

​@@cautarepvp2079it's slow. 2.0 is 140 bhp, that is a good balance of speed and 2.0 is almost like 1.9 in economy

I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks (with the help of my Financial Advisor of course) and made about 246k, but guess what? I put it all back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up close to a million.

Wait wait, you can ACTUALLY run a diesel on vegetable oil?

[@kobewibowo4855]

@@Name-eg1uf Yes, all diesels can. The only thing that's different is that the oil is thicker in viscosity, so it needs to be heated to 160-180 degrees F to be the same viscosity as diesel.

Absolutely. My Q7TDI is a 3.0 liter V6 turbo diesel. Only 240HP, but 420 ft/lbs of torque. I had a S5 with a 3.0 liter V6 gas engine, was 351 HP and 369ft/lbs. Exact same displacement engines, both Audi engines, vastly different performance characteristics.

[@asdatrollys8944]

Petrol for my purposes is just better. It’s a case of when you blow a petrol motor it just kinda hisses and steams occasionally throwing pistons and various debris, however desil engines kinda make a big fireball and break everything, now I replace the motor in my car fairly often as I use it on track and as a result often go over red line... I have no issue with this as my car has had so many engines it’s kinda silly so it’s at a point where swapping it out isn’t an issue, however if I used desil motors I’d have to buy a new car every few months. Yes I know that the solution is to stop over revving my car, quite honestly I do not care

Most of my cars ran on liquid propane gas. Here it is less than half the cost of petrol. LPG cars been on the road here forever, like at least 1960. And they have a switch so you can drive on petrol when the LPG runs out, so you can go get a refill 😁

I wonder if you could make a high-reving Diesel engine to get high levels of horsepower for sports cars, or if you could add a gearbox to existing Diesel engines to convert the low revs, high torque, lower HP into high revs, lower torque, but higher HP...

[@davidmontroy3408]

I had a 2015 Audi Q5 TDI prior to VAG getting busted by the EPA for cheating on their emissions testing. When it was time to turn in that lease in 2018, their investigations and lawsuits were finally over. Of all the mothballed TDIs that were held on dealership lots nationwide, I was able to secure a 2015 Q7 TDI with 64 miles on the clock, that had never been sold. I got a huge discount on it, got the bigger capacity I wanted, over the Q5, and got a full warranty and Audicare maintenance program starting in August 2018. I love my TDI, as well as the ownership experience of Audis. The "TDI fix" was implemented, to satisfy the EPA terms of their lawsuit, and I get a solid vehicle that should last me a few hundred thousand miles, with proper care & maintenance. :-)

[@asmircar1]

I drive diesel e39 530d for past 7 years and i love it.... It doesnt burn oil and it doesnt smoke like in ur clips.... Its stock car with all filters and im happy with it. If i wanted more power i can easly tune it for another 50-100hp while in meantime gas engines like to consume oil becouse they have worn out seals. Also its very hard and expensive to tune up petrol engines, since they dont have forced induction. Im talking about bmw e39, have that in mind.....

[@worldhello1234]

@8:09 Another "victim" of propaganda. @10:21 If you can drive the engine, horsepower wins races. :D @12:21 Yes, but here is a "twist," LPG is cheaper than Diesel, cheaper to produce than Diesel because it is a byproduct of gas production and gas powered cars run with it. If longevity is a priority for you, Diesel in general is a better option for you but in reality you rarely deal with absolutes. :)

[@untaded08]

So on average diesel is only 10-20 cents more expensive then gas… yet diesel on average get 30% more mpg. Theses new Diesel engines get better efficiency which includes how clean they are. EVs use lithium, maybe you should do a video on how much it cost to do a video on what it cost our plant to make the batteries for a EV. The future should be on alternative gas/diesel fuels. I love watching theses videos but saying diesels are all dirty is misinforming.

[@ApolloPerez-gt9ft]

I think the diesel wins because you can pull heavier things because a diesel has more torque.

[@xx_ironman77_xx1]

Diesel is slow like could get more power out of an Diesel engine buy swapping fuel from diesel to propane and water injection diesel is known for having alot of torque and not having similar horsepower to match that torque so itz really slow 😏but they can be faster if you get the Horsepower up to 1000 or higher 🤷🏼

[@DumbAngelDragon]

​@@beauxr.benoit1374 No, I fully understood what you meant. A gas engine was built to do work- not to build power. In the 1900s the steam engine was the workhorse engine, both common internal combustion engines were "only meant to do light work" like run a pump where it was impractical to use a boiler. We tuned gas engines, and you can absolutely tune diesel engines, and you can tune electric motors. None of those things were "intended" for being used in racing, they were only intended to move a horseless carriage. You can't make the argument that diesel is better suited for tractors and not for cars when the reality is that it's simply not true. Especially since if things had been marginally different in the 1920s, ALL cars would be diesel because they are far more efficient and simple to build.
